COLLECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION
Please take care not to submit
any sensitive or private information to other members or users of the site and
do not submit any sensitive or private information in your public profile.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable
information or personally sensitive data through Hirbox’s profiles, user
messaging, or job application, this information may be collected and used by
others. Users which transmit confidential, personal, private, personally
identifiable, or sensitive data to other users through their profile, or in any
other way on Hirbox do so at their sole risk and Hirbox will not be liable in
any way.
We collect information about you

eBooks/whitepapers/reports, sign up for our newsletters, chat with us or email
us directly. We also collect information when you voluntarily give us when
using our services, such as applying to jobs, distributing your resume, and
making purchases.
We may
collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may
collect on the Site includes:
Personal Data
Personally identifiable
information, such as your name, address, email address, and telephone number,

related to the Site. You are under no obligation to provide us with personal
information of any kind, however your refusal to do so may prevent you from

determine a user’s personal identity. Hirbox cannot offer any guarantee or
promise of anonymity to its users. Users expressly agree to not hold Hirbox
liable for this responsibility in any way. Additionally, as the Internet is not
a secure environment, Hirbox will not be liable for security breaches or for

transmit, or otherwise make public the personal identity or information of
users. Users of Hirbox agree that their anonymity cannot be guaranteed by
